The Swedish Bible Society released a new translation of the New Testament in September. A key alteration within the updated text involves the well-known phrase “Vår fader, du som är i himlen” ("Our Father, who art in heaven"). Jonas Holmstrand, a member of the editorial committee, is explaining the reasoning behind this and other changes. He provides insight into the overall translation process, shedding light on the decisions made during the revision. The change aims to modernize the language while preserving the core meaning of the religious text. Holmstrand’s explanation offers a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in translating scripture and adapting it for contemporary audiences in Sweden. This new version intends to be both accurate and accessible to modern Swedish speakers.
